Gaming Soundbites You Can't Forget

Posted by simoniker on from the fatality-ality dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for their 'GameSpotting' editorial discussing game audio soundbites you can't get out of your head. The author recalls: "Just as the sound of a bell ringing made Pavlov's dogs start watering at the mouth in anticipation of their next meal, it was the sound of Street Fighter II that made me want to play." Apart from the article's classic example, "Ryu and Ken's shouts of 'Hadoken!'", what unique game audio captures your imagination every time you hear it?

    As soon as I read the article, that popped into my head...also the score and sounds from Defender of the Crown on the C64 bring back fond memories...they put that SID to good use...
